Moved my drivers side mirror down about 6 inches to eliminate the huge blind spot behind the mirror

I don't think I could bring myself to recommend replacing a rear main seal that is NOT leaking...no matter how convenient. Just let the miracle happen.

A local guy just got a kit from Breton and reported that it fit well and he was really happy with it.

This video shows soldiers being trained how to do it. It is used when one or both corners are in the air. The major reason people snap half shafts is from letting the tire in the air get spinning and then JAM on the brakes. The inboard brake rotor stops instantly but that huge tire/runflat...

On the ends of both your frame rails...there is a rusty plate with a single bolt holding it in.

Start by taking off the block off plates on the end of the frame. See whats in there. Don't the mounting feet of the winch line up with those holes on the winch plate?

This is a pretty informative video on troubleshooting the hmmwv. Even though its NOT about a no start condition, It shows you how to test the glow plugs

Leak test that cooler and Make sure you hold the blocks when tightening the cooler loop nuts.

Got any more pics of the install?

Would it hurt to just check the torque on the head bolts before yanking and ganking on the motor?

My first thought with drivetrain noise that is affected by letting off the throttle would be U-joints/center bearing. Mine had a ringing squeak that matched driveshaft speed under a medium acceleration. Greased all the joints. They seemed in good condition but when I replaced both front and rear...

The part where you say the gauges are trying to reset every 10 seconds...sounds like there may be a short somewhere that is popping a breaker and resetting and popping again. There is not much wiring in there so I would start with a visual inspection of your wiring harness front to back looking...

That, I don't know. It was top dollar. All the "reasonable" ones were spurious Search this on ebay " New M998 HMMWV Thermostatic Fan Switch 12338599 5930-01-237-7322 "

Just something to look for during your next PMCS... Happened to find the vent line rubbing on the boot. The clamp was twisted too far down and the vent lie rubbed on the boot during turns and nearly wore through the line and the boot. I just loosened the clamp and twisted it the other way so it...

Finally made a radiator protector and got the belts changed out.

I suspect you are getting Chinese knockoff switches. They are known to vary widely in their activation temps. From what I can tell, most of the switches you see for sale are the repops. This is what my known genuine switch looked like. Thick heat sealed plastic. Expired shelf life date.

You are really going to have to start with a thorough cleaning. Strip off everything removable. Top, seats, insulation boards and padding... Then go after it with a scraping tool/flat bladed screwdriver to bust up the compacted filth in all the cubby boxes and crevices. Then shop vac all...

Just for reference...my buddy had this style at one time...

That's how mine was. Had batteries but from 2010 Everything at auction just about comes with dead/no batteries. They just slave start them...which is the preferred method of jump starting. Fast, and PVT Goof-proof . I had pre purchased two new 6TL batteries from O'reillys for 200 each, new...

Ive been getting the occasional blinky wait light recently and after reading this, I took a voltmeter to the batteries after disconnecting them and sure enough...front battery was at 12.8v rear was at 12.0v I have now cleaned and swapped them and the low one is on a charger to see what happens
